Research conducted on the so-called ‘massacre generation’ reveals that common fears surrounding mass shootings do not translate into unified views on policy. Findings indicate that while individuals share concerns, their policy preferences remain varied.
According to Jillian Turanovic and Kristin Lloyd from The Conversation, about 50 million Americans aged 18 to 29 can vote in the upcoming midterm elections. Notably, 60% of this demographic express intentions to vote.
If these young voters indeed cast their votes, it could result in record-breaking turnout for midterms among those under 30. This potential increase reflects heightened political engagement in this age group.
